Seems to me they closed Meigs and every other airport for good reason..... A BILLION dollar + piece of property being held hostage for only 16 airplanes... It is the cost of flying, why the hell does a engine for a coupe cost $10,000 Why is a radio $2000 Why does a new Cessna cost over a quarter of a million dollars.. Why are we happy when we can sell ercoupes for $20,000 and even more happy when one is scrapped because it raises the value of the one we own? I used to go to the Paine Field "Jet Deck" for the $10 dollar burger and there were hundreds of aircraft on the ramp. I went a month ago and the "Jet Deck" is gone, and there was one aircraft on the ramp and it hadn't moved in years. I think I will buy a sail boat........
